#LoveOpera

This weekend (4-6 May 2018) is the third #LoveOpera weekend when Twitter users are asked to use the #LoveOpera tag to celebrate opera and music theatre. This year the Opera and Music Theatre Forum (OMTF) is asking the sector – how are we communicating, developing, recreating or subverting opera traditions? The weekend is part of the European Opera Days involving companies from 20 countries which run from May 4 – May 12 and this year are focusing on cultural heritage.To take part, use the hashtags #loveopera or #LoveOpera (OMTF) and #operadays (Opera Europa)
